English Majors and Minors Club puts on the English Book Fair

By Audrey Herold

Cheap books and fruit cups drew students to the English Majors and Minors Club book fair on April 13 in front of the P building.

On an overcast day, students shopped for used books that supported the club. 

“It’s an opportunity to get cheap books… I miss holding a book,” shared Sharon Villanueva, a customer at the fair. 

Villanueva was seen with a stack of books in hand; she had two books by Sue Grafton. 

The books were housed on a table next to fruit cups, which were also available for sale underneath a tent with the club’s banner across the top of it.

According to club member Brad Barnes, it was a fundraiser to raise money for field trips and student activities.

In addition to the book fair, the club hosts other events as well, including open mic nights and writing contests. 

There were a variety of different books sold including titles such as Anne Rice’s “Interview with a Vampire” and Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.”

Non-fiction books were also on sale, including textbooks and writing guides.

The club also tried selling the entirety of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” book series as a boxset. 

Club member Areli Chavez led the event while simultaneously handling all the book and food sales.

Club member, Grant Brumage, dropped by to show his support for the event.

“I just wanted to check it out. It’s sick. I’m glad we’re able to do events like this,” said Brumage.
